   * Closes a {@link Closeable}, with control over whether an {@code IOException} may be thrown.
   * This is primarily useful in a finally block, where a thrown exception needs to be logged but
   * not propagated (otherwise the original exception will be lost).
   *
   * If {@code swallowIOException} is true then we never throw {@code IOException} but merely log
   * it.
   *
   * 
Example: 
   {@code
   *
   *   public void useStreamNicely() throws IOException {
   *     SomeStream stream = new SomeStream("foo");
   *     boolean threw = true;
   *     try {

   *       threw = false;
   *     } finally {
   *       // If an exception occurs, rethrow it only if threw==false:
   *       Closeables.close(stream, threw);
   *     }
   *   }}
   *
   * @param closeable the {@code Closeable} object to be closed, or null, in which case this method
   *     does nothing
   * @param swallowIOException if true, don't propagate IO exceptions thrown by the {@code close}
   *     methods
   * @throws IOException if {@code swallowIOException} is false and {@code close} throws an
   *     {@code IOException}.

   *     try-with-resources statement if using JDK7 or {@link Closer} on JDK6 to close one or
   *     more {@code Closeable} objects. This method is deprecated because it is easy to misuse and
   *     may swallow IO exceptions that really should be thrown and handled. See
   *     Guava issue
   *     1118 for a more detailed explanation of the reasons for deprecation and see
   *     
   *     Closing Resources for more information on the problems with closing {@code Closeable}
   *     objects and some of the preferred solutions for handling it correctly. This method is
   *     scheduled to be removed in Guava 16.0.
